Boylston Street

Take a walk down Boylston Street and you'll see all sorts of interesting things, such as the new part of the Boston Public Library in late afternoon, above.

     

John Singleton Copley, for whom Copley Square is named:

Hare-brained near the end of the Boston Marathon:

The world is round - like an orange. One of the muses on the Dartmouth Street side of the BPL:

Trinity Church, in front of the Hancock Tower:

Old South Church:

Is there anybody who likes this statute, which seems to grow more forlorn by the year?

Creative re-use: Barcode, the restaurant, in the old Division 16 precinct house:

Comments

I moved from Boston to Ohio last year after growing up there.... I'm still homesick for the best city in the world. This afternoon while sitting at work I was missing Boston so I stumbled upon your site, which brought a happy tear to my eye. I just wanted to thank you for a little reminder of home.
